      If a human evolves to understand everything about our existence, scientifically and emotionally, then he/she knows how to play the game (power vs survival), without letting their emotions take control. One's past memories can manipulate one's present thinking, that affects one's ability to focus on a particular task(s). I think, when a machine is capable of expressing emotions, it could be the downfall of the human race. Because we as humans, tend to use our emotions as a tool for seduction (control) and/or isolation (superiority). An open mind, in my opinion, is one that keeps emotions from being created for personal gains. Collective intelligence, is the key to progress. That, to me, is the definition of winning the game of life...

    Garry for me is the greatest of all time. He is a true genius. OK he made some mistakes, but not many and don't forget when he lost the second match against Deep blue, he wasn't playing one man or woman, but a team and a machine, who knew all his moves, all his openings, all his middle and end game strategies. Garry was not allowed to see Deep blues matches on the run up to the matches so couldn't study it in the same way, and he did win the first match. I think if Garry was at his peak today, the likes of Carlsen, MVL, Dubov, Nakamura etc... Would struggle to beat him. He was that good.

      Further, after the first win, there was one loss and all draws until the last game. The only reason he lost that last game was because he played a bad move to try to force the computer out of its book. If he played his natural game it could've easily been another draw.

    Very interesting interview - many thanks Lex- becoming a big fan of you and also Kasparov who I have annotated many games of. I think Kasparov is right about closed vs open systems. With a restricted rule set, computers can generally have the right sort of calculations and end up playing with less mistakes than humans. So the concept of more open systems where there pre-determined algorithms may not be effective is really interesting point made by Kasparov. I am also currently annotating many games on my channel of the open-source successor of Alpha-zero - the Leela lc0 project. Maybe you have heard of it. lc0 recently won the prestigious TCEC computer chess event - beating Stockfish by a big margin. The games are pretty fascinating to me. The neural network approach to chess seems to create a very different style of play, and it seems quite interesting new middlegame concept themes have been emerging such as "thorn pawns". It seems Leela (lc0) is playing a very positional long term strategy compared to more traditional AB engines. Currently this division in the chessworld between the traditional AB engines and Neural Networks is really spicing up the engine chess tournaments. Cheers, K

      jcims Below-average political systems attract below-average politicians. The optimal case is to create a system such that a political structure would attract highly intellectual people, making them locally average. But that would not happen, because most of the current structure is based on endless lies and manipulation.

      In our pasts, we were different people. If you were to bring the past self and the present self together and have them look each other in the eyes, tell each other what they're doing right and wrong, then continue their individual journeys to look at how they evolve separately, they will behave quite differently compared to their pasts based upon what they have seen and told. Any encounter towards the past/future self would have a highly reflective effect any one person. If anyone ever asks for an example, you probably don't even need a real life one; just look at Scrooge in A Christmas Carol.

    One additional question I would love to see asked of Garry Kasparov:
    It is sad to have seen Garry go into "time paralysis" during multiple games in St. Louis over the course of the past few years, and I wonder what he now thinks when watching his own performances of those particular games in "real time" today. Nevertheless, this was an excellent interview, and it's always great to see the Champion of Our Chess Era, Garry Kasparov!
    Again, this is really a superb interview by Les Fridman. Garry Kasparov is an excellent speaker, and he always gives us a clear presentation of the issues, so I believe that the most important thing here was to both direct him toward revealing something new, and then to let him speak without interruption. And I believe that you succeeded on both fronts! - j q t -
